i am in the process of doing mines, i took the road less traveled with this mod. doing f2 swap on 87, didnt want white rims so stripped with aircraft remover, the jel...it works wonders. just wear some chemical resistant gloved and have some backing soda and water around just in case it gets on your skin. sprayed easy off oven cleanre on it to remove ani -something i forgot the word. than i sanded the entire rim 60-600 grit with a mouse sander and by hand, then wet sanded with 800-1000 grit paper with a mixture of water/dawn dish detergent/and blue magic metal polish....the objective is to get the rim really smooth. than i turned my angle grinder into a polisher by using various polishing wheels with can be found at most home store and polishing compounds which can be ordered online or found at menards by the dremel tools.
first use black and sisal wheel
use microfiber cloth to rub ALL compund off!!!!
second use brown and canton wheel
use microfiber cloth to rub ALL compound off!!!
third use white and soft cotton wheel
use microfiber cloth to clean ALL compound off!!!!
last use some MOTHERS POLISH(2X) to Protect it.
it will shine like the new sun.
as far as masking off areas, some painters tape and an exacto knife should help out.
good luck...
